Sharon White has to be on Cloud 9 right now. With Rafferty’s Rules well on his way back to the top following his 2012 injury at Burghley, Wundermaske looking confident and in good form following a mishap at Millbrook that kept him home from Blenheim, and a brand new ride in super talented and up-and-coming Under Suspection, Sharon’s season is looking bright indeed. We’re thrilled for her good luck so far, and I caught up with Sharon and Reggie in the barns for an interview this afternoon.

Under Suspection — who is contesting her first three-star this weekend at Carolina International — is in fourth place in the CIC3* on a score of 45.0 thanks to jumping double clear today. Rafferty’s Rules came bouncing into the show jumping and pulled two rails in boisterous fashion to sit in 18th place overnight on 56.9. Wundermaske jumped beautifully with one rail down to sit in 25th on 60.7. Best of luck to Sharon tomorrow as she tackles Hugh Lochore’s cross-country course with Reggie, Pippy and Patch.
